Před umístěním na zeď je graffiti velmi často pečlivě plánováno v náčrtníku nazývaném piecebook. Tyto odrbané sešity s oslíma ušima se často předávají z ruky do ruky jako způsob sdílení nápadů a poskytování instrukcí. V této knize jsou zveřejněny stovky kreseb, z nichž většina nebyla nikdy předtím publikována. Kniha sama vzhledem připomíná autentické stránky náčrtníku. Široké spektrum technik reprezentují práce nejvýznamnějších autorů graffiti jako jsou Zephyr, Dondi, Dace, CRASH, Lady Pink, T-Kid, CAP a Ghost. Autoři, sami bývalí tvůrci graffiti, nabízejí životopisy umělců a úvodní pojednání o tom, proč se piecebooky staly tak cenným historickým pramenem. Text v angličtině. David Villorente, 12 let byl vydavatelem časopisu Source , v němž publikoval pod jménem Chino .

"From the illustrations on the inside covers to the faux duct tape and stickers on the outside, Piecebook is an impressive re-creation of its original inspiration," XLR8R magazine hailed Piecebook when it was published in 2008. The unique book, already a classic in the graffiti genre, allowed readers to understand first-hand how graffiti is planned and sketched before it hits the wall. In this follow-up volume, covering a later period, graffiti experts Sacha Jenkins and David Villorente continue their project to give the wider public access to the art form's profound visual language. Featuring renowned artists from the mid-1980s to today, including Cope, Reas and Wane, it reveals a remarkable evolution of graffiti art, in which distinctive styles by older artists are morphed by the next generation and ideas are given shape and refinement. Designed in a similarly arresting format, Piecebook II mimics the actual sketchbooks graffiti artists have drawn in, carried and passed around for years. The book's uncoated stock is the perfect background for displaying authentic, previously unpublished sketches.

Like the hugely successful volumes it follows, this latest collection mimics that most valuable of graffiti gear - the blackbook. Nearly 200 private drawings by top artists from every corner of the globe are featured in this volume. Mirroring the rev olutionary format of their previous books Piecebook and Piecebook Reloaded, Jenkins's and Villorente's World Piecebook presents rare and personal illustrations straight from the collections of artists such as Atome, Demote, and Casino from Australia; Kas and Resm from Belgium; Swet, Bates, and Rens from Denmark; Virus, Zek, and Bacon from Canada; Lunar and Dock from Croatia; Oker, Drax, and Zombie from England; Lemon and Angel from Serbia; Os Gemeos, Nami, and Rio from Brazil; Dare and Ders from Switzerland; Shiro, Sniper, and Nezm from Japan; Rek, Ske, and Blend from Puerto Rico, and more. With an introduction by Sacha Jenkins, World Piecebook will be a must-have book for graffiti writers and their fans around the globe.
